Have a bump, OP, for I too am planning on my first personally owned tent purchase, and I too know very little of what goes into the makings of a good, solid tent.
This is the one I'm looking at here
http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/sportsmans/Browning-Canyon-Creek-8x10-five-person-tent/productDetail/Tents-and-Shelters/prod99990135490/cat100830I'm excited for it because it sleeps five (I also like that it specified "adults," instead of just saying "5 persons"), almost tall enough for me to stand completely upright in and barely costs over $130. I am just worried because of the whole "too good to be true" shit. There has to be a tradeoff somewhere.
Pic related, the tent I want with rainfly on
